: About Me

I have wanted to be a professional writer for thirteen years and every day it seems like I'm getting closer to achieving that dream. I currently live in Northern Arizona, but am originally from Canada.

I am currently an editor of Northern Flight Magazine for Northland Pioneer College. I've written reviews and interviews for the website Comicbloc, where I've interviewed comic creators and even have touched on journalism.

I also have published a book of poetry entitled "I Am...". I've also had an essay published in "Secrets Of The Dragon Riders" which is available in any Borders bookstore.

I'm working on a comic and my first novel. I've spent my life chasing my dreams and have few regrets.
